Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

becsxxx

Another one who is super thirsty here - only trouble is needing to wee constantly!

samtoby - could you try nibbling something with quite a strong, distinctive taste to get rid of the nasty taste? I'm thinking pickled onions, lemon slices, that kind of thing!

Afm, POAS this morning.... It was the Clearblue digi - just wanted to see it had gone up to 3+ on the conception indicator (which it had), so feel slightly happier now.

Also, today's post contained a letter from the midwife and my first appointment for booking in is on 10 October when I'll be a day under 8 weeks. Apparently I will need to decide where to have my baby by then(!). Do any Notts people know if QMC or City Hospital are meant to be any different?

I was reading about this and from what I gather there are people that have both positive and negative experiences at both hospitals (to be expected). QMC does apparently have better parking but City apparently has a parent and baby hotel. Where if the birth has been problem free then the parents can stay over night in their hotel where they will have the support of a midwife if they want it. Decisions decisions.

I'm still unsure where I want to give birth. We are closer to the QMC so for us that would be more convenient I guess.

Samtoby I'm feeling terribly tired. Went to bed at 8 last night and slept until 8.30 and even now at 9am I could fall straight back to sleep again. What are the signs of an iron deficiency? What type of pregnacare did they give you? I'm now wondering whether I should see if I can get an appointment this afternoon.

vickyvics - thanks for that, I will do some research as well, but we are also nearer QMC so may end up opting for that for convenience, with other factors being equal.

chelseablue - glad I'm not the only one with slightly bonkers behaviour! Yes, midwife wrote to me so my first appointment is 10 Oct when I'll be 7 weeks and 6 days too! I'll let you know how it goes so you know what to expect!

Ooooo yes please

Hey everyone,

VickyVics- Being tired is a sign. I had it with my DS and I recognise the symtoms. I think there are other signs but mainly being very tired. I am taking some tablets the Dr's perscribed. Thought that was nice that I had to pay for them after I found out I shouldn't have!

A blood test would show low Iron I believe.

My MW appointment is at 7+4 so a little earlier than 8 but it was mainly because of my recent mmc to discuss any concerns I may have, its only a week Thursday so not too long to wait. :j

I still have the taste, tried a few things but its STILL there lol. I guess its just one of those things. Still feel very sick but not actaully been sick, touch wood (touches wood) will be ok. :rotfl:

Hi everyone

I am 7 + 6 as of today

I really wish the 12 week point would hurry along so i can share my good news with my family and friends! Keeping quiet is torture.

My first scan is booked for 24th Oct (I will be 12 + 1) Can't wait!!

I also have felt very sick but not actually been sick, although I was close to being sick in an isle in Tesco.... that would have been embarrassing, luckily I had it under control lol.

Wishing everyone the best of luck!

Hi girls,

Well I'm finally 12 weeks today! :j

So pleased I got to this point but another week till my scan :cool:

Sickness has started to go the last couple of days although still feel yuck in mornings and with certain foods and now have a definite little bump so keeping fingers crossed everything's okay.

For those feeling tired, I started feeling tired from about 6 weeks with sickness starting at 6 +2 so could be related. I am still tired early even now and go through real tired points during the day when I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Oh the joys of pregnancy

I *think Im 5 weeks tomorrow - but am going to phone the mw tomorrow and start the ball rolling. If I go off the date of my last period then Im 6 weeks tomorrow (on a normal 28 day cycle) and Im pretty sure that's how she dated me last time. In my area I need to phone and leave a message, then we play telephone tennis until I finally get to speak to the midwife and make an apt!

Ive got a really round stomach! It must be where Im bloating but my jeans are tight already - theres no hope for me this time... I wore leggings to work today so I could be comfortable.
Off to bed now- well it is 9:30! x
